Movie Review - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) - 1.5 Stars
I know I’m supposed to take some deep youth-is-wasted-on-the-young message out of this movie, but all I’m seeing is a three hour biopic about a guy born with a bad skin condition who gets better as he ages. If I want to watch ‘The Elephant Man’ or ‘Forrest Gump’, I’ll watch the movies themselves, not this mash-up. Also, there was no need to tell the story in flash-back, and the Hurricane Katrina tie-in attempted to pull heart-strings that should have been left to be handled by the script. The 1.5 stars I’ve given are for the make-up and GC teams.
